Not recommended for users from outside the prefecture.I stopped by on a trip and my two mothers used the women's bath.First of all, I was disappointed that it was a basket instead of a locker. Even though the users from outside the prefecture had a lot of valuables and were wearing nice clothes, it was still a lawless area. I can't take a relaxing bath because I'm worried about theft. There was a locker with a key near the entrance, but it was for luggage rather than clothes, so it was very difficult to use.And the manners of the locals are too bad.In a word, it was unpleasant.First of all, there are only two hair dryers.The hair dryer was occupied by two people, a fat lady who seemed to be a regular customer, and a skinny Okappa lady.We stood to the side and waited with face packs etc. until the place was empty. Then, I was surprised when I handed it to someone who came up behind me, and said, ``Please use the hair dryer!'' I don't know if he was an acquaintance or not. I didn't expect him to ignore the person waiting, so I stood there stunned. Are locals given priority here? and.It was very unpleasant.

I've been there several times a year, and I've been using it ever since it was Shusenso, but over the past few years I've seen a lot of deterioration. I'm particularly disappointed that the open-air bath is closed, and that the hallway is dirty because you walk straight through.I know it's rude, but many of the customers are elderly, and it seems like they're complacent and the poor quality of the service and facilities are ignored. I was impressed. I'm very disappointed.

The rice for dinner was not freshly cooked, and from the smell it seemed like it had been in the pot for a while. It was a shame because I was looking forward to freshly cooked Akita Komachi since I was in Akita. .Also, the air conditioner vents in the restaurant were quite dirty with mold. After all, I think I want restaurants to pay attention to things like that.I stayed for 2 nights, but there was no hot water in the open-air bath.

This is a public facility where you can take a day trip to the hot springs, and as it is always very popular, the hot springs are often crowded. The food was very ordinary and I was rather grateful.

I used the hot spring for a day trip. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many people, so I was able to enter slowly. One disappointing thing was that the open-air bath was under construction🚧, so I couldn't use it.

This hot spring accommodation is located near the historic site Hotta no Sakuato.The parking lot is large, and when it snows, a snow melting system is activated, so you can park safely.[Day trip bath business hours] 7:00-21:00[Bathing fee] ¥400*¥500 from April 2024[Closed] First Tuesday of every month *Next day if it is a public holidayThe changing area has a changing basket type, valuables lockers and coin lockers (¥100 will be refunded).A hair dryer, water dispenser, and scale are available.The large public bath has a washing area, a large indoor bath, a sauna (about 90℃), and a cold bath.The open-air bath and special bathroom (private bath) are currently closed as of March 2024.The washing area is equipped with rinse-in shampoo and body soap.The hot springs use heated circulating chlorine, are colorless and tasteless, and have a mineral and chlorine odor.The water seems to warm up nicely.When I visited, there was no hot spring coming out of the spout, but apparently hot hot springs come out from time to time.The floor and bathtub bottom are made of stone that is non-slip, giving you a sense of security.In addition to the large public bath, the facility also has a sales corner, a large hall (for a fee), and a restaurant.

It feels like a place for local residents to interact.Changing rooms and washing areas are occupied and uncomfortable.The women's bathroom in particular seemed so blatant that my wife said it was the worst.I'm sorry

I wonder if it's a needlessly large building. It's cheap at 400 yen for a day trip. Free bath for 1 month is ¥7000, and the bath amenities were good. Nice scent of horse oil 👌 Good foamingIt is loved by the locals, so for newcomers and first-time visitors, there is a sauna 💦 The atmosphere is not relaxing 😢 Although there is 14ch TV.

A hot spring that looks like a public bath that local people come to bathe in.Refreshing, colorless and transparent hot water.There is an indoor bath and sauna (with TV).It seems to have a restaurant, a product sales corner, tatami rooms, and private rooms, making it a very comfortable facility.Since it is managed manually, it can be used comfortably.If you are a local, I think it would be perfect as a daily bathing facility.However, the bathroom may be too simple for people coming from far away to visit the hot springs.Bathing fee: 400 yen.

Cheap bathing fee of 400 yen for adults! There is also a free rest area, so it was nice to be able to take a rest after taking a bath.

I took a day trip bath for the sauna purpose.On that day, due to equipment failure, the women's bathroom and men's open-air bath were unusable.When you enter the facility, there is no ticket vending machine, and you pay the bathing fee of 400 yen for adults at the counter.There is a valuables locker with a 100 yen return system at the entrance of the changing room, so please leave your valuables here.Put your clothes in the changing basket on the shelf.The washing area can accommodate about 12 people in two rows, and it was fully booked at the time I visited (around 4:00 pm on Saturday).The bath was a little hot, it felt like about 40 degrees.I think the sauna is fully booked with 2 tiers and max 16 people.The thermometer on the wall is reading around 90 degrees.The first time, I left the room after about 6 minutes, took a standing shower to sweat, and then went to the cold bath.The water bath is a small bathtub that can only accommodate two people, but the temperature is around 18 degrees, so it's a good amount of water.The outside air bath was moderately arranged with 3 relaxing chairs, 2 flat chairs, and 1 flat bench.I think it's a great facility with good value for money.

From after the rice harvest in the fall to early spring, regular customers monopolize the sauna and outdoor space, and the staff don't pay attention to them, so I think it's better not to go there than to have a bad experience during this time.

It's a pity that the open air can't be used for some reason now.The quality of the spring water is good and warms your body from the core.

A day trip hot spring in Daisen City where you can also stay overnight.Colorless and odorless hot water. There are a lot of people in the evening, but there are about 10 washing areas so there is plenty of room.The sauna is spacious and relaxing. Thankfully, there are plenty of chairs and other places to rest after coming out of the sauna. As of May, the open-air bath was closed.Adults: 400 yen, sauna available (with TV), lockers available (100 yen return system), outside available
